FRU Replacement Strategy

Before Replacing Parts Ensure that all diskette fixes are installed prior to replacing any FRUs listed in this manual. Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary FRU replacement and service expense: If you are instructed to replace a FRU and that does not correct the problem, reinstall the original FRU before you continue. Some computers have both a processor board and a system board. If you are instructed to replace either the processor board or the system board, and the first board that you replaced does not correct the problem, reinstall the original board, then replace the other (processor or system) board. If an adapter or device consists of more than one FRU, an error code might be caused by any of the FRUs. Before replacing the adapter or device, remove the FRUs, one by one, to see if the symptoms change. Replace only the FRU that changed the symptoms. Warning: A customized setup configuration (other than default settings) might exist on the computer you are servicing. Running Automatic Configuration might alter those settings. Note the current configuration settings (using the View Configuration option) and verify that the settings are in place when service is complete.
The advanced diagnostic tests are intended to test only IBM products. Non-IBM products or modified options can give false errors and invalid responses.
Hard Disk Drive Replacement Strategy

Always try to run a low-level format before replacing a hard disk drive. Warning: The drive startup sequence in the computer you are servicing might have been changed. Be extremely careful during write operations such as copying, saving, or formatting. Data or programs can be overwritten if you select an incorrect drive.
How to Use Error Messages

Use the error codes displayed on the screen to diagnose failures. If more than one error code is displayed, begin the diagnosis with the first error code. The cause of the first error code can result in false error codes being displayed. If no error code is displayed, see if the error symptom is listed in the Symptom-to-FRU Index for the computer you are servicing.
How to Read POST Error Messages

POST error messages are displayed on the screen as three, four, five, or eight digits. The error messages that can be displayed as shorter POST messages are highlighted in this index. Some digits will represent different information for SCSI errors versus non-SCSI errors. The following example shows which digits display the shorter POST error messages and also defines the SCSI information in an eight-digit error message.
Shorter POST Messages Reserved Size (SCSI) Slot Number (SCSI) Device Code Logical Unit Number (SCSI) ID (SCSI)
All SCSI devices are set to a different SCSI ID. Duplicate SCSI ID settings can generate a false error message. Use the SCSI ID to determine whether the error message is coming from an internal or an external device.

Safety Notice 7 Though main batteries have low voltage, a shorted or grounded battery can produce enough current to burn combustible materials or personnel. Bien que le voltage des batteries principales soit peu eleve, le court-circuit ou la mise la masse d'une batterie peut produire suffisamment de courant pour brler des materiaux combustibles ou causer des brlures corporelles graves. Obwohl Hauptbatterien eine niedrige Spannung haben, konnen sie doch bei KurzschluB oder Erdung genug Strom erzeugen, um brennbare Materialien zu entzunden oder Verletzungen bei Personen hervorzurufen. Sebbene le batterie di alimentazione siano a basso voltaggio, una batteria in corto circuito o a massa pu fornire corrente sufficiente da bruciare materiali combustibili o provocare ustioni ai tecnici di manutenzione. Aunque las bateras principales tienen un voltaje bajo, una batera cortocircuitada o con contacto a tierra puede producir la corriente suficiente como para quemar material combustible o provocar quemaduras en el personal.

Safety Information
The following section contains the safety information that you need to be familiar with before servicing an IBM mobile computer.
General Safety
Follow these rules to ensure general safety: Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance. When lifting any heavy object: 1. Ensure you can stand safely without slipping. 2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet. 3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to lift. 4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any objects that weigh more than 16 kg (35 lb) or objects that you think are too heavy for you. Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or that makes the equipment unsafe. Before you start the machine, ensure that other service representatives and the customer's personnel are not in a hazardous position. Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you are servicing the machine. Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over it. Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a machine. Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it. Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a nonconductive clip, approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end. Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your clothing. Remember: A metal object is a conductor of electricity. Wear safety glasses when you are: Hammering Drilling Soldering Cutting wire Attaching springs Using solvents Working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes
14
After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety device that is worn or defective. Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the customer.
Electrical Safety
Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment. Important Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles covered with a soft material that does not insulate you when working with live electrical currents. Many customers have, near their equipment, rubber floor mats that contain small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock. Find the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch, disconnecting switch, or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then operate the switch or unplug the power cord quickly. Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near equipment that has hazardous voltages. Disconnect all power before: Performing a mechanical inspection Working near power supplies Removing or installing main units Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the customer to power-off the wall box that supplies power to the machine and to lock the wall box in the off position. If you need to work on a machine that has exposed electrical circuits, observe the following precautions: Ensure that another person, familiar with the power-off controls, is near you. Remember: Another person must be there to switch off the power, if necessary. Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment; keep the other hand in your pocket or behind your back. Remember: There must be a complete circuit to cause electrical shock. By observing the above rule, you might prevent a current from passing through your body. When using testers, set the controls correctly and use the approved probe leads and accessories for that tester.
Introduction
15
Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if necessary) to insulate you from grounds such as metal floor strips and machine frames.
Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages; these instructions are in the safety sections of maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high voltages. Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition. Do not use worn or broken tools and testers. Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. First, check that it has been powered-off. Always look carefully for possible hazards in your work area. Examples of these hazards are moist floors, nongrounded power extension cables, power surges, and missing safety grounds. Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective surface of a plastic dental mirror. The surface is conductive; such touching can cause personal injury and machine damage. Do not service the following parts with the power on when they are removed from their normal operating places in a machine: Power supply units Pumps Blowers and fans Motor generators and similar units. (This practice ensures correct grounding of the units.) If an electrical accident occurs: Use caution; do not become a victim yourself. Switch off power. Send another person to get medical aid.
Safety Inspection Guide

The intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potentially unsafe conditions on these products. Each machine, as it was designed and built, had required safety items installed to protect users and service personnel from injury. This guide addresses only those items. However, good judgment should be used to identify potential safety hazards due to attachment of non-IBM features or options not covered by this inspection guide. If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine how serious the apparent hazard could be and whether you can continue without first correcting the problem. Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they present:
16
Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal electrical shock). Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or bulging capacitor Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware The guide consists of a series of steps presented in a checklist. Begin the checks with the power off, and the power cord disconnected. Checklist: 1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or sharp edges). 2. Power-off the computer. Disconnect the power cord. 3. Check the power cord for: a. A third-wire ground connector in good condition. Use a meter to measure third-wire ground continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external ground pin and frame ground. b. The power cord should be the appropriate type as specified in the parts listings. c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn. 4. Remove the cover. 5. Check for any obvious non-IBM alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety of any non-IBM alterations. 6. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water or other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage. 7. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables. 8. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been removed or tampered with.
Introduction

Handling Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive Devices

Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (ICs) should be considered sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between objects. Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the machine, the part, the work mat, and the person handling the part are all at the same charge. Notes: 1. Use product-specific ESD procedures when they exceed the requirements noted here. 2. Make sure that the ESD protective devices you use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effective. When handling ESD-sensitive parts: Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product. Avoid contact with other people. Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body. Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when you are wearing a wrist strap. Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface. The mat is especially useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices. Select a grounding system, such as those listed below, to provide protection that meets the specific service requirement. Note: The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect against ESD damage. Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire ground. Use an ESD common ground or reference point when working on a double-insulated or battery-operated computer. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these computers. Use the round ground-prong of the AC plug on AC-operated computers.
Grounding Requirements
Electrical grounding of the PS/2 computer is required for operator safety and correct computer function. Proper grounding of the electrical outlet can be verified by a certified electrician.

Testing the AC Adapter

1. If a noise can be heard from the AC adapter when it is plugged into line voltage, replace the AC adapter. If a noise still comes from the AC adapter, suspect the computer. If not, the AC adapter has a problem. Replace the AC adapter with the original one, then go to the next step. 2. Measure the output voltage at the plug of the AC adapter cable.
Pin 1 2
Voltage (V dc) +14.3 to +15.8 Ground
If the voltage is not correct, replace the AC adapter.
Testing the Rechargeable Battery

1. Remove the keyboard. 2. Set the rechargeable battery in place without connecting any external power devices. 3. Measure the voltage between terminals 1 (+) and 2 () and note the voltage.
1(+)
4. Using the AC adapter, apply external power to the computer. Make sure that a charge arrow appears in the system-status display. 5. Measure the voltage again between terminals 1 (+) and 2 (). If the voltage is not greater than the one measured in Step 3, replace the AC adapter. If the voltage is greater than the one measured in Step 3, go to the next step.

6. Remove the rechargeable battery from the computer. 7. Measure the voltage at the battery terminals.
3( ) 1(+) 2(T)
Pin 1 3
If the voltage is not correct, the rechargeable battery is discharged or defective. If the voltage is correct, go to the next step. 8. Using a low-power ohm meter, measure the resistance at the battery terminals between 2 (T) and 3 (). The resistance must be 4 kilohms to 30 kilohms. If the resistance is out of range, replace the rechargeable battery.
Testing the Backup Battery

1. Remove the keyboard and the top cover. 2. Measure the voltage at the connectors of the backup battery.
Pin 1 2
If the voltage is not correct, the backup battery is discharged by a short circuit or is defective.
Testing the Standby Battery

Note: The charging time required is 48 hours. 1. Remove the keyboard and the top cover. 2. Connect the AC adapter to the computer.

Running PREP
The PREP utility initializes and prepares the hard disk surface for storage of data. It performs a low level format then checks for bad sectors. If any bad sectors are found, they are marked in a way that prevents data from being stored in them. There are two situations when PREP is used: 1. To prepare the hard disk surface for formatting when installing a new hard disk drive. 2. To exclude sectors of the hard disk that have become unusable, indicated by intermittent or continuous hard disk drive read failures. Warning: PREP erases all data on the hard disk. If possible, back up the data on the hard disk to diskettes before running PREP. To run PREP: 1. Boot the Advanced Diagnostics diskette. 2. Press the right arrow key to select the Run Tests menu. 3. Press the down arrow key to select Advanced Utilities from the menu and press Enter. 4. Select PREP and press Enter. PREP displays its version number, a list of informational messages, and then asks if you want to proceed.
Do you want to proceed with PREP (Y/N)?

Press N if you want to cancel PREP and return to the DOS command line. Press Y to continue with PREP. PREP asks for the hard disk drive unit number (drive C = 0 and D = 1).
Hard disk drive unit number (0 - 7):

Enter the drive number. You will then be offered one more chance to cancel PREP. PREP will prompt you to press P to continue. Pressing any other key will cancel PREP and return you to the DOS prompt. PREP first scans the hard disk for bad sectors that have previously been marked. It displays the message:
Scanning for previous bad sectors...

PREP then performs a low level format of the hard disk surface. It display the message:
64
Initializing the disk...

PREP will then write data to each sector of the hard disk and read this data back to verify each sector. This is repeated four times. PREP displays the message:
Verify: pass n, Cylinder xxx

Where n is the number of the current pass (1-4) and xxx is the current cylinder under test. If any bad sectors are found, PREP marks them to prevent them from being used when the hard disk is formatted. After the hard disk is verified, PREP displays the message:
Operation complete, press any key to exit to monitor

The hard disk is now ready to be formatted and have an operating system loaded onto it.
Updating Flash Memory

Note on Updating Flash Memory Perform this NEWBIOS function only while operating on AC power.
Reprogramming Flash BIOS:

Flash ROM, do the following.
To reprogram the
1. Access the Monitor program with the Ctrl+Alt+Ins key combination. 2. Insert the Advanced Diagnostics diskette in the diskette drive. 3. Type NEWBIOS, then press Enter. The NEWBIOS function tests the size of the file, the computer type, and the checksum of the file. After the tests complete successfully, the Flash ROM is reprogrammed. The following prompt appears:
Programming success. Press Enter to reboot system...

In order for the computer to read the new code, the computer must be rebooted. Press Enter to reboot the computer. If the NEWBIOS function fails and displays any error messages, power-off computer, wait 15 seconds, then power-on computer. If the Flash ROM is corrupt, the computer will initiate the NEWBIOS function automatically.

Testing the AC Adapter:
If the Power-On indicator is not on, check the power cord of the AC adapter for proper installation and continuity. 1. If any noise can be heard from the AC adapter when it is plugged into line voltage, replace the AC adapter with a new one. If no noise can be heard from the adapter, go to Step 3. 2. If the noise still comes from the new AC adapter, suspect the computer. Replace the AC adapter with the original one, then go to the next step. If no noise comes from the new adapter, the original adapter has the problem. 3. Unplug the AC adapter cable from the computer and measure the output voltages at the plug of the AC adapter cable. Connect the minus lead of the volt-ohm meter to pin 3 during the measurement.

If the voltages are not correct: 1. Unplug the AC adapter from the ac power outlet and leave it for a few minutes. 2. Plug the AC adapter into the ac outlet. 3. Measure the output voltages of the AC adapter. 4. If the voltages are still not correct, replace the AC adapter. If the voltages are OK, plug the cable into the computer and try the failing operation again. If the problem still remains, replace the voltage converter. If the problem disappeared, suspect the installation and continuity of the AC adapter cable.

Testing the Battery Pack

1. Remove each battery pack and measure the voltage at the battery terminals between (+) and ().
(+)
(T) ( )
Terminal (+) (T) (-) Voltage (V dc) +12 to +18 Thermal Detection Ground
If the voltage is less than +12 V dc, the battery pack is discharged or defective. If the voltage is more than +12 V dc, go to the next step. 2. Using a low-power ohm meter, measure the resistance at the battery terminals between (T) and (). The resistance must be 500 ohms to 20 kilohms. If the resistance is out of range, replace the battery pack.

1. Remove the keyboard and the top cover. 2. Disconnect the battery connector from the system board. 3. Measure the voltage of the backup battery.

The Symptom-to-FRU Index lists error symptoms and possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first. Always begin with General Checkout on page 112. This index also can be used to help you decide which FRUs to have available when servicing a computer. If you are unable to correct the problem using this index, go to Undetermined Problem on page 130. IMPORTANT: 1. If you have both an error message and an incorrect audio response, diagnose the error message first. 2. If you cannot run the advanced diagnostics tests, but did receive a POST error message, diagnose the POST error message. 3. If you did not receive an error message, look for a description of your error symptoms in the first part of this index. 4. Check all power supply voltages before you replace the system board. (See Power Systems Checkout on page 117.) 5. If an error message is not listed, there is a device installed that requires an additional diskette or service manual. Refer to the diskette or service manual for that device. How to Read POST Error Messages POST error messages are displayed on the screen as 3, 4, 5, or 8 digits. The error messages that can be displayed as shorter POST messages are highlighted in this Symptom-to-FRU Index.

Checking Installed Devices Power-on Password on page 132 How to Run the Advanced Diagnostics on page 132 Hard Disk Partition on page 132 Restoring the Partition on page 133 CL57 LCD FRU Replacement Notice on page 133

The Installed Devices List shows the presence of devices in the computer. If an adapter or device is missing from the list, you might have one of the following conditions. Warning: A customized setup configuration (other than default settings) might exist on the computer you are servicing. Running Automatic Configuration can alter those settings. Note the current configuration settings (using the View configuration) and verify that the same settings are in place when service is complete. The protected partition on the hard disk or the Reference Diskette you are using does not contain the code required to support that device. An adapter or device is defective. The device missing from the list is an unrecognizable drive or adapter. The device missing from the list requires an additional diskette. A power supply voltage is incorrect (see Power Systems Checkout on page 117). If the adapter is on the list, run the adapter diagnostics tests. If the list contains an adapter or device that is not installed, go to Undetermined Problem on page 130.

How to Run the Advanced Diagnostics

1. Power-on the computer. 2. When the cursor moves to the upper right, press Ctrl+Alt+Ins to start the system program. If the IBM logo does not appear, insert the backup copy of the Reference Diskette into the diskette drive, press Ctrl+Alt+Del, then repeat this step. 3. Advance to the Main Menu. 4. Press Ctrl+A to run the system checkout.
Hard Disk Partition

A protected partition on the hard disk contains the system configuration data set, system setup programs, and customer and advanced diagnostics. System setup and diagnostic programs can be loaded from this partition by pressing and holding Ctrl+Alt+Del and, as soon as the cursor moves to the upper right corner of the display, pressing and holding Ctrl+Alt+Ins.
132
Restoring the Partition

If a computer or hard disk problem prevents system setup or diagnostic programs from being loaded from the protected partition, load and run the programs from the Reference Diskette. If no errors are found, restore the programs to the protected partition on the hard disk using the following procedure. 1. Start the computer with the customer's backup copy of the Reference Diskette installed. 2. Select the Backup/Restore system programs from the Main Menu. 3. Select the Restore the system partition to load the system setup and utility programs, and the customer and advanced diagnostics programs onto the system partition of the hard disk. If this does not correct the problem, use the backup copy of the Reference Diskette to format the hard disk and then restore the programs to the protected partition. If the problem remains, return to the I998XXXX, I9990303 error code (on page 126 in the Symptom-to-FRU index). Note: After the programs have been restored, the Diskette and F1 prompts appear, unless an operating system is present.
CL57 LCD FRU Replacement Notice

If missing or discolored dots appear on the LCD, carefully read the following note to determine whether you should replace the LCD. Important The LCD for the Model CL57 contains over 921 000 thin film transistors (TFTs). A small number of missing, discolored or lighted dots (on all the time) is characteristic of TFT LCD technology, but excessive pixel problems can cause viewing concerns. The LCD should be replaced if the number of dots satisfies either of the following conditions: The number of missing or discolored dots in any colored back ground, except black, is 14 or more. The number of lighted dots in a black background is 7 or more.

Error symptoms and the FRUs that might be responsible for the failure are listed in the Symptom-To-FRU index. The most-likely failing FRU is listed first. If the computer displays an error message and gives an incorrect audio response, start with the FRUs listed for that error message. An X in an error message can be any number. Notes: 1. Before replacing any SCSI devices, verify that there are no duplicate SCSI ID settings. 2. If you are unable to find an error message, you have an IBM device with its own service manual or a device not supported by the advanced diagnostic tests. Refer to the manual for that device. Important
SLOT 1 designates the logical position for the SCSI adapter built into the system board which controls the internal and external SCSI devices. If you are instructed to replace the SCSI adapter in slot 1, replace the system board.
Note: The system board for the Model P75 486 consists of two FRUs. If you are instructed to replace the system board, exchange the system board first. If that does not correct the problem, reinstall the original system board, then exchange the processor card.

Checking Installed Devices SCSI Devices Enable and Disable Settings on page 158 How to Run Advanced Diagnostics on page 158 Power-on Password on page 159

If an adapter or device is missing from the list, you might have one of the following conditions: Your Reference Diskette does not contain the module of code required to support that device. The missing device is a 5.25-Inch 360KB or 1.2MB External Diskette Drive adapter, or another unrecognizable adapter. The missing device is defective. An adapter or system board is defective. Run Automatic Configuration (see Automatic Configuration before continuing) and determine which type of device, SCSI or non-SCSI, is missing from the Installed Devices List, in Advanced Diagnostics, then continue with the following steps. (If SCSI and non-SCSI devices both are missing, go to Undetermined Problem on page 156.)
SCSI Devices
Important
SLOT 1 designates the logical position for the SCSI adapter built into the system board which controls the internal and external SCSI devices. If you are instructed to replace the SCSI adapter in slot 1, replace the system board.
The adapter supporting the missing device might be defective. If more than one SCSI adapter is installed, isolate adapters in the option slots one by one, then suspect the system board. 1. Power-off the computer and disconnect all cables attached to the system board and the SCSI adapter. 2. Terminate the adapter, as required. 3. Power-on the computer and run Automatic Configuration. If the adapter is not on the Installed Devices List, in Advanced Diagnostics, the adapter or the system board is defective. If the adapter is on the list, run the adapter diagnostic tests.
157
4. If the adapter fails the tests, replace it or the system board (SLOT 1). If the adapter passes the tests, a different adapter might be defective. 5. Reconnect the cables to the SCSI adapter or system board, then terminate the adapter, as required. 6. Go to Undetermined Problem on page 156 to find the problem.
Enable and Disable Settings

To verify that the Enable and Disable settings are correct, select Set and View SCSI Device Configuration from the Set Configuration menu, and determine if there are any Presence Error Reporting devices listed. The settings must be as follows: Devices connected to the computer must be set to Enabled. Devices listed but not connected must be set to Disabled. Change the settings by pressing F5, then save them by pressing F10.
Non-SCSI Devices:

PREP Hard Disk Low Level Format

The PREP utility initializes and prepares the hard disk surface for the storage of data. It performs a low-level format, then checks for bad sectors. If any bad sectors are found, they are marked in a way that prevents data from being stored in them. There are two situations where PREP is used. To prepare the hard disk drive surface for formatting when installing a new hard disk drive. To exclude sectors of the hard disk that have become unusable, indicated by intermittent or continuous hard disk drive read failures.
194
Warning PREP erases all data on the hard disk. If at all possible, always back up the data on the hard disk to diskettes before running PREP.
BIOS Update Procedure

Use this procedure to reprogram the computer's BIOS. The computer contains the latest version of BIOS available when manufactured, but later revisions might be available. There are two reasons for replacing the BIOS. 1. To have a more recent version of BIOS that adds features that enhance the computer's performance. 2. To reinstall the BIOS on a computer in which the BIOS has become corrupt. After you select this option, the current BIOS version will be displayed. You will be asked if you want to overwrite the current BIOS version. If you answer Yes, the computer will look for the BIOS image file on drive A and install it. Note: Always operate the computer on AC power when updating the BIOS.

To check the system power, do the following. 1. Power-off the computer. 2. Remove the battery from the computer. 3. Check the battery voltage. The voltage should read 9 to 12 V dc across the negative and positive contacts (the two contacts farthest apart). If the voltages are not correct, try recharging the battery pack. If the voltages are correct, continue with the next step to test the AC adapter voltage. 4. Unplug the AC adapter from the computer. 5. Measure the voltage at the points shown.
V dc +13.5 to +15
+ Lead 2
Lead 1
If the voltage is not correct, replace the AC adapter. If the voltage is correct, go to Undetermined Problems on page 214.
Standby Battery Check:
To check the standby battery voltage, measure across the two contacts. The voltage should read 3.5 to 4.5 V dc. If the voltage is not correct, replace the battery.
RTC Battery Check: To check the backup battery voltage, measure across the two contacts. The voltage should read 2.5 to 3.5 V dc.
If the voltage is not correct, replace the battery.
Power Management Features

Press Fn + F1 to select the Configuration Utility. The Power Management Features can be accessed from this menu. Press F1 for additional online help.
209
Important Before using the power saving features, be sure to read and observe the following precautions: If you enter Suspend mode with a diskette inserted in the diskette drive, the same diskette must be installed in the drive before attempting to resume normal operation. If you enter Suspend mode with a PCMCIA** card inserted in the PCMCIA slot, the same PCMCIA card must be installed in the slot before attempting to resume normal operation. If the computer is connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) that periodically polls for station activity, the LAN-connection might be terminated while the computer is in Suspend mode. Any further attempt to access the network results in a brief delay and the computer appears to hang (up to 1 minute, depending on the network). After the delay, an error is displayed. Follow the instructions on the screen to restore normal operation. Any software program that was running over the LAN is not re-entered when you resume normal operation from Suspend mode.

Power-On Password
Power-On Self Test (POST)

Each time you power-on the computer, POST is initiated. The POST takes up to 90 seconds to complete, depending on the options installed. The POST checks the following: system board, memory, display, keyboard, diskette drive, hard disk drive, parallel port, and serial port. To start the POST, power-on the computer. The following will happen: 1. You will hear one short beep when the POST successfully ends. If the POST cannot be completed successfully, an error message appears on the display accompanied by the Configuration Utility box requesting the user to press the Esc or Enter key. When the Esc key is pressed, the computer bypasses the error and attempts to complete the POST. If the Enter key is pressed, the Configuration Utility is shown. The user can then try to correct the error. If a critical error is encountered, the POST is halted. 2. The computer attempts to load the operating system as customized. If an operating system is not found, a graphic message (icon) is displayed requesting the user to insert a diskette into the diskette drive and press the F1 (RESUME = F1 KEY) key to resume operation.
Advanced Diagnostics Diskette

The Advanced Diagnostics diskette contains diagnostic and utility programs. The diskette is intended to test only IBM products. Non-IBM products, prototype cards, or modified options can give false errors and invalid computer responses.
Loading the Diagnostics Diskette

To load the diagnostics diskette, insert the Advanced Diagnostics diskette into the diskette drive and power-on the computer.
216
How to Run the Diagnostics

To access diagnostic tests from the SELECT AN OPTION Menu, do the following. 1. Select 0 (SYSTEM CHECKOUT), then press Enter. 2. At the Installed Devices menu, press (Y), then press Enter. 3. The SYSTEM CHECKOUT menu is then displayed. 4. Select 0 or 1 from the SYSTEM CHECKOUT menu. 5. Select the devices to be tested.
Formatting the Hard Disk Drive

Hard disk drives normally contain tracks in excess of their stated capacity to allow for defective tracks. The user is notified by a diagnostic message when the defect limit has been reached and service is recommended. The Advanced Diagnostics Format program is different from the operating system format program. Before the customer can transfer information from the backup diskettes to the hard disk drive, the hard disk drive must be formatted using the operating system format program. Have the customer refer to the operating system manual for a description of the hard disk preparation commands. Warning: All data on the selected hard disk drive will be destroyed during a format operation or surface analysis. After formatting the hard disk drive, copy the System files from the Diagnostics diskette to the hard disk drive.
Error Log
Use the following steps to create an error log, run the diagnostic tests, and automatically record any error messages in an error log. This procedure is normally used to diagnose an intermittent problem. Note: The errors must be logged to a diskette drive or to a printer. If recording errors on a diskette, use a copy of the Advanced Diagnostics diskette that is not write-protected. Do not run any diskette tests when logging to a diskette drive. Do not run a parallel port test when logging to a printer.
Creating the Error Log

1. Insert the Advanced Diagnostics diskette into the diskette drive. 2. Press 0 (SYSTEM CHECKOUT), then Enter. 3. Depending on the options installed in the computer, questions about attached devices might appear on the display. Answer as required; then press Enter. 4. Press Y or N (IS THE LIST CORRECT (Y/N)?), then Enter. 5. Press 2 (LOG UTILITIES), then Enter. 6. Press 0 (START ERROR LOG), then Enter. ThinkPad 350, PS/Note 425 (2618)
217
7. Press 0 or 1 (LOG TO DISKETTE, OR PRINTER (0/1)?), then Enter. 8. If you are logging to diskette, press A (ENTER THE DRIVE ID FOR ERROR LOG?), then Enter. 9. Press 9 (END LOG UTILITIES), then Enter.
Starting the Test

1. Press 1 (RUN TESTS MULTIPLE TIMES), then Enter. 2. Select the device you suspect has a failure, then press Enter. 3. Select the number of times the test is to be run, then press Enter. 4. Press N (WAIT EACH TIME AN ERROR OCCURS (Y/N)?), then Enter. 5. Follow any instructions on the display and select all available tests. Note: Do not press any keys during the keyboard test. 6. To end (RUN TEST CONTINUOUSLY), press and hold the Ctrl key; then press the Pause key. The computer will complete testing and return to the Installed Devices menu.
Display the Error Log

1. Depending on the options installed in the computer, questions about attached devices will appear on the display. Answer as required; then press Enter. 2. Press Y or N (IS THE LIST CORRECT (Y/N)?), then Enter. 3. Press 2 (LOG UTILITIES), then Enter. 4. Press 2 (DISPLAY LOG), then Enter. 5. Press A (ENTER THE DRIVE ID FOR ERROR LOG?), then Enter. 6. If no errors occurred, the Log Utilities menu appears. If errors are displayed, go to Symptom-to-FRU Index on page 211.
Checking the Installed Devices List

If an adapter or device is missing from the Installed Devices list and you are able to add it to the list, do so and continue with the diagnostic tests. If an adapter or device is missing from the installed devices list and you cannot add it to the list, you might have one of the following conditions: The diagnostic code for the missing device is not on your Advanced Diagnostics diskette. The missing device is a 5.25-Inch External Diskette Drive Adapter, or another unrecognizable adapter. The missing device is defective. The bus adapter is defective. The adapter or device is not an IBM product.
218
If the number of drives installed in the computer differs from the number shown in the installed devices list, an error can occur during the diagnostic tests. Restart the computer and correct the drive information in the Set Configuration menu before running the diagnostic tests. Warning: A customized setup configuration (other than default settings) might exist on the computer you are servicing. Running Automatic Configuration can alter those settings. Note the current configuration settings (using the View Configuration option) and verify that the settings are in place when service is complete.

Press Func+F3 to select Power Management setup (any time after the computer is powered-on). Important Before using the power saving features, be sure to read and observe the following precautions: If you enter Suspend or Hibernate mode with a diskette inserted in the diskette drive, the same diskette must be installed in the drive before attempting to resume normal operation. If you enter Suspend or Hibernate mode with a PCMCIA card inserted in the PCMCIA slot, the same PCMCIA card must be installed in the slot before attempting to resume normal operation. Hibernate mode does not save/restore the status of PCMCIA cards. When you resume normal operation from Hibernate mode, the PCMCIA card is no longer configured and will not be recognized by the computer. If the computer is connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) that periodically polls for station activity, the LAN-connection may be terminated while the computer is in Suspend or Hibernate mode. Any further attempt to access the network results in a brief delay and the computer appears to hang (up to 1 minute, depending on the network). After the delay, an error is displayed. Follow the instructions on the screen to restore normal operation. Any software program that was running over the LAN is not re-entered when you resume normal operation from Hibernate or Suspend modes.

If an adapter or device is missing from the Installed Devices list and you are able to add it to the list, do so and continue with the diagnostic tests. If an adapter or device is missing from the installed devices list and you cannot add it to the list, you might have one of the following conditions: The diagnostic code for the missing device is not on your Advanced Diagnostics diskette. The missing device is a 5.25-Inch External Diskette Drive Adapter, or another unrecognizable adapter. The missing device is defective. The bus adapter is defective. The adapter or device is not an IBM product. If the number of drives installed in the computer differs from the number shown in the installed devices list, an error can occur during the diagnostic tests. Restart the computer and correct the drive information in the Set Configuration menu before running the diagnostic tests.

Each time you power-on the computer, the POST is initiated. The POST takes up to 15 seconds to complete, depending on the options installed. The POST checks the following: system board, memory, display, keyboard, diskette drive, hard disk drive, parallel port, and serial port. To start the POST, power-on the computer. 1. You will hear one short beep when the POST successfully ends. If the POST cannot be completed successfully, an error message appears on the display accompanied by the Configuration Utility box requesting the user to press the Esc or Enter key. If the Esc key is pressed, the computer bypasses the error and attempts to complete the POST. If the Enter key is pressed, the Configuration Utility is shown. The user can then try to correct the error. If a critical error is encountered, the POST is halted. 2. The computer attempts to load the operating system as customized.

The SYSTEM CHECKOUT menu is then displayed. 4. Select 0 or 1 from the SYSTEM CHECKOUT menu. 5. Select the device to be tested.

Hard disk drives normally contain tracks in excess of their stated capacity to allow for defective tracks. The user is notified by a diagnostic message when the defect limit has been reached and service is recommended. The Advanced Diagnostics Format program is different from the operating system format program. Before the customer can transfer information from the backup diskettes to the hard disk drive, the hard disk drive must be formatted using the operating system format program. Have the customer refer to the operating system manual for a description of the hard disk preparation commands. Warning: All data on the selected hard disk drive will be destroyed during a format operation or surface analysis. After formatting the hard disk drive, copy the System files from the Diagnostics diskette to the hard disk drive.
Restoring the TP500 Subdirectory: The TP500 subdirectory on the Diagnostics diskette and hard disk drive contains the following:
Installation utilities Introductory program Other utilities OS/2 PCMCIA drivers If the hard disk drive is reformatted or the files in the TP500 subdirectory on the hard disk drive are corrupted, copy the TP500 subdirectory on the Diagnostics diskette to the hard disk drive. To create a TP500 subdirectory on the hard disk drive and copy the files, do the following:

Press Func+F3 to select Power Management setup (any time after the computer is powered-on). Important Before using the power saving features, be sure to read and observe the following precautions: If you enter Suspend or Hibernate mode with a diskette inserted in the diskette drive, the same diskette must be installed in the drive before attempting to resume normal operation. If you enter Suspend or Hibernate mode with a PCMCIA card inserted in the PCMCIA slot, the same PCMCIA card must be installed in the slot before attempting to resume normal operation. Hibernate mode does not save/restore the status of PCMCIA cards. When you resume normal operation from Hibernate mode, the PCMCIA card is no longer configured and will not be recognized by the computer. If the computer is connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) that periodically polls for station activity, the LAN-connection might be terminated while the computer is in Suspend or Hibernate mode. Any further attempt to access the network results in a brief delay and the computer appears to hang (up to 1 minute, depending on the network). After the delay, an error is displayed. Follow the instructions on the screen to restore normal operation. Any software program that was running over the LAN is not re-entered when you resume normal operation from Hibernate or Suspend modes.

1. Unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet and the computer. 2. Inspect the AC adapter for any signs of overheating or damage. 3. Inspect the AC adapter power cord for cuts or damage. Replace the power cord, if necessary. 4. Plug the power cord into a power outlet. Listen for any sound that might indicate defective operation. 5. Measure the output voltage at the AC adapter plug.
2 1
Pin 1 2
Voltage (V dc) +19 to +21 Ground (sleeve)
If the voltage is incorrect, but not 0, replace the AC adapter. If the voltage is 0, check the power cord and the power outlet. If the power cord and power outlet are OK, replace the AC adapter. If the voltage is correct, suspect a short circuit or a failure in the computer. Go to Short Circuit Test on page 301.
291
Battery Pack Test

1. Remove the battery pack. 2. Measure the voltage at the battery contacts as shown below.
+ Contacts +
If the voltage is not correct, charge the battery. If the voltage is not correct after being charged, replace the battery. If the voltage is correct, suspect a short circuit or failure in the computer. Go to the Short Circuit Test on page 301. Use the following procedure to check if the thermal protection has tripped. 1. Measure the resistance with an ohmmeter between the T and - contacts. 2. The resistance should not be open (infinity). The thermal protection is detected when the temperature exceeds 70C to 80C (158F to 176F). Wait until the battery temperature becomes normal, then verify the resistance at the battery terminals. If it is open, replace the battery.
292
Backup Battery Test

1. Remove the backup battery. 2. Measure the voltage on the battery as shown below.
Pole +
If the voltage is not correct, replace the backup battery. If the voltage is correct, a short circuit or a failure in the system board has occurred. Replace the system board.
Quick Charger Test

1. Make sure the AC adapter works correctly by using the AC Adapter Test on page 291. 2. Verify the battery pack is not thermal protected by using the procedure on Battery Pack Test on page 292. 3. Plug the quick charger to the AC adapter. The charger power indicator should turn on. 4. Install the battery pack, the charging indicator should start blinking. 5. Within 3.0 hours, the battery pack (not exhausted, standard size) will be fully charged and the charging indicator changes from blinking to constant on. If the charger does not work as stated above, replace the quick charger.
293
Car Battery Adapter Test

1. Unplug the car adapter from the computer and the cigarette socket. 2. Measure the cigarette socket voltage. It should be between 9.0 V dc and 18.0 V dc. 3. Plug the adapter into the car socket. Measure the output voltage of the adapter.
2 1
Pin 1 2
Voltage (V dc) +19 to +21 Ground (sleeve)
If the voltage is incorrect, but not 0, replace the car battery adapter. If the voltage is 0, check that the adapter connector has good contact with cigarette socket. If the connection is good, replace the adapter. If the voltage is correct, and the computer operates with the AC Adapter, replace the car battery adapter. If the voltage is correct, and the computer fails with AC adapter also, perform the AC Adapter Test procedure.
294
Power Management System

The power management system controls the power applied to the computer, the modem card, and the printer by using the setup Program's Power Save menu. This system reduces the power drain on the battery when the computer power is on, but not actively being used.
Suspend and Resume Modes:
The suspend and resume modes are unique methods to minimize the use of power from the battery. When the computer enters suspend mode, one beep sounds and the Suspend/Resume indicator glows a steady orange. All tasks are stopped and their present states are stored in memory to save power. When the computer returns to resume mode, the computer restores the same states as when it entered suspend mode. One beep sounds and the indicator glows a steady green when the resume operation is completed. The computer enters suspend mode when: A battery-low condition is detected The Suspend/Resume switch is activated When the computer is not actively used (Auto suspend) The suspend function does not occur when a device is connected to AT Bus, or a modem card is inserted in the IC Card slots. The computer returns to resume mode when the Suspend/Resume switch is switched on. While in the resume state, the indicator blinks.
295
The Symptom-to-FRU Index lists the symptoms and errors and the possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first. Use this index to help you decide which FRUs to have available when servicing a computer. For errors indicated by the diagnostic tests, see FRU Codes on page 298. If the symptom is not listed, go to Undetermined Problems on page 301. In the following error codes, X can be any number.

1. Power-off the computer. 2. Remove or disconnect one of the following devices: - Any external device or cables (including the keyboard) - Internal modem card 3. Power-on computer power and run diagnostic tests. 4. If the symptom remains, repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 until you find the failing adapter or device. 5. If all devices are disconnected and the symptom remains, go to Power Systems Checkout on page 290. If this does not solve the problem, replace the system board. 6. If an intermittent problem remains after replacement of the FRUs, consider external electrical noise that can have an effect on the computer. Check that the EMC contacts on the system board are not broken. The contacts are fragile and can be easily damaged.
Short Circuit Test

1. Visually check the cables, wires, and connecters for any short circuits, open wires, and damage. If a short circuit or burned parts are found, replace the parts. 2. Disconnect, then reconnect all the external devices from the computer one by one and see if the same symptom appears. If you find that an external device has a problem, follow the maintenance procedure for that device. 3. If the same symptom remains with no external devices connected, the problem is in the computer. Isolate the failing component in the computer by changing the FRUs one by one until you find the problem. Replace the DC/DC card and the system board first. If the symptom is that the battery becomes low on power quickly, and all the tests run without detecting any errors, replace the battery pack first.

Reset Button
The reset button is used when the computer will not power-off or there is a system hang. The reset button resets the power supply regardless of the status of the microcode.

If a device is installed but the icon appears in gray shade rather than dark shade on the Test Menu, it means that the device is defective. Make sure that the device is connected properly. If the symptom continues, replace the device or the system board. FDD, Parallel, and Serial icons are always displayed in dark shade. That is, these icons represent adapters on the system board and do not represent external devices.
ThinkPad File (TPF) Card

The TPF card is functionally equivalent to a hard-disk drive. However, the TPF card utilizes flash-memory for data storage. The TPF is rugged, noiseless, and uses very little power.
IC Card Controller
The IC Card controller is integrated on the system board and can accommodate one IC card (HDD model) or three cards (TPF model) at the same time. The slots conform to the PCMCIA Type-2 and JEIDA V4.1.

025 You may have an intermittent problem: Check for damaged cables or connectors. Reseat all adapters and devices in the 3550 Expansion Unit. Start an error log and run the tests several times. Check the power supply fan in the 3550 Expansion Unit and make sure it is working properly. Check the power supply voltages (see Power Systems Checkout).

If the power good light is not on and if the power-supply fan is not running, check the power cord for continuity and proper installation. If the power cord is not the problem, either the power supply is defective or another component is defective and is causing the power supply to shut off. To verify that the power supply is operating correctly, do the following: 1. Power-off the 3550 Expansion Unit and disconnect the 3550 Expansion Unit power cord. 2. Remove all power supply connectors (power supply connector P1, P2 and drive connector 1) from the system board of the 3550 Expansion Unit and SCSI device. 3. On power supply connector P2, short-circuit pin 4 to pin 6 and short-circuit pin 7 to 8. 4. Connect the 3550 Expansion Unit power cord. 5. Check the power supply voltages using the figures on the next page.

The Symptom-to-FRU Index lists error symptoms and possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first. Always begin with General Checkout (3550-001) on page 316 or General Checkout (3550-002) on page 322. This index also can be used to help you decide which FRUs to have available when servicing the 3550 Expansion Unit. If you cannot correct the problem using this index, go to Undetermined Problem on page 333. IMPORTANT: 1. Before replacing any SCSI devices, verify that there are no duplicate SCSI ID settings. 2. If you have both an error message and an incorrect audio response, diagnose the error message first. 3. If you cannot run the advanced diagnostic tests, but did receive a POST error message, diagnose the POST error message. 4. If you did not receive an error message, look for a description of your error symptoms in the first part of this index. 5. Check all power supply voltages before you replace the system board of the 3550 Expansion Unit. (See Power Systems Checkout on page 327.) 6. If an error message is not listed, there is a device installed that requires an additional diskette or service manual. Refer to the diskette or the service manual for that device.

Checking the Installed Devices List Automatic Configuration on page 335 Missing SCSI Device on page 335 Missing Non-SCSI device on page 335

At the start of the customer or advanced diagnostic tests, the installed devices list is displayed. Normally, all the adapters and devices that are installed are listed. If the list contains an adapter or device that is not installed, go to Undetermined Problem on page 333. If an adapter or device is missing from the list, you have one of the following conditions: The system partition on the computer hard disk drive (fixed disk drive) or the Reference Diskette you are using does not contain the code (contained on an option diskette) required to support the device. Copy the option diskette of the missing device to the system partition of the computer hard disk drive or to the Reference Diskette. The SCSI interface on the system board of the 3550 Expansion Unit might have failed. An unrecognizable device or adapter is installed. The device missing from the list requires an additional diskette. (See the device service manual.) The device missing from the list is defective. An adapter is defective. A power supply voltage is not correct (see Power Systems Checkout on page 327).
If the adapter is on the list, run the adapter diagnostic tests.
334
Automatic Configuration
Warning: A customized setup configuration (other than the default settings) might have been set on the computer you are servicing. Running Automatic Configuration might alter those settings. Note the current configuration settings (using the View configuration or Set and view SCSI device configuration option) and verify that the same settings are in place when service is completed.
Missing SCSI Device

The 3550 Expansion Unit features a built-in SCSI controller. The built-in SCSI controller supporting the missing device might be defective. 1. Power-off the 3550 Expansion Unit and disconnect all internal and external SCSI devices from the 3550 Expansion Unit. Warning: See Automatic Configuration before continuing. 2. Power-on the 3550 Expansion Unit and run Automatic Configuration. If the built-in SCSI controller is not on the Installed Device List in advanced diagnostics, replace the system board of the 3550 Expansion Unit. 3. Reconnect the devices to the 3550 Expansion Unit. Note: The built-in SCSI controller includes an active terminator. This terminator automatically works when an external SCSI device is attached. 4. Go to Undetermined Problem on page 333.
Missing Non-SCSI device

If a non-SCSI device is missing from the list, replace the missing device. If more than one non-SCSI device is missing, isolate them one at a time until you find the device causing the failure.

General Preparation
1. Check that the computer is correctly docked (connected) to the Dock I. 2. If possible, make sure that there are no hardware conflicts settings, such as interrupt levels, memory address, DMA channel, and I/O address. 3. Check that the SCSI ID is set correctly. 4. Test and correct any computer problem before you test it with the Dock I. Use the computer documentation to resolve any computer problems. 5. Test the computer with the external keyboard, external display, mouse, and parallel and serial device connectors. (Use the keyboard/mouse connector to test the external keyboard and mouse.) If no problems are found, connect the external keyboard, mouse, parallel and serial devices to the Dock I, then connect the Dock I to the computer and test it. 6. If external devices are attached to the Dock I, such as an audio amplifier, check the device by referring to the manual shipped with the device. 7. When the release/lock lever is opened with the computer docked on the Dock I and power is on, a warning is indicated by a warning beep and a LED message. If either do not work, the problem is in the LED or the warning system. 8. If the user did not bring the computer with the Dock I when service is needed, use a computer that works correctly with the Dock I. 9. If a beep sounds when the computer is docked to the Dock I, make sure that the following are correct. The release/lock lever is not open. The computer is not in suspend mode while docked to the Dock I. If the beep sounds during normal operation, dock the Dock I to another computer and do the same operation again. If the beep sounds, suspect a problem with the Dock I.

Display Problems (AD/VC Adapter)

The IBM ThinkPad Analog-to-Digital Converter Adapter (AD/VC adapter) is one of the options for the Dock I. With the IBM PS/2* ActionMedia II Display Adapter (ActionMedia II adapter), the AD/VC adapter enables the computer to run multimedia applications. When the AD/VC adapter is installed in the Dock I, and a display problem occurs, before you start to isolate any problem; switch off the computer, remove the Dock I from the computer, and check that the computer works correctly. Information is now displayed on the LCD screen using the computer's video control function, not the AD/VC adapter. If the computer works correctly, make sure that the ActionMedia II Adapter is installed in the 16-bit AT bus connector of the Dock I. Then reinstall the computer onto the Dock I. If there is still a problem, go to Display Symptoms (AD/VC Adapter) on page 355. The following figure shows the how to remove the AD/VC adapter from the Dock I.

The Symptom-to-FRU Index lists error symptoms and possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first. Note: Replace the FRUs one at a time in the sequence shown in the FRUs of the Dock I and Sequence of Action column. If a replaced part did not resolve the problem, put the original part back in the Dock I. Do not replace non-defective parts. Always begin with General Checkout on page 341. This index also can be used to help you decide which FRUs to have available when servicing the Dock I. Numeric error codes show the errors detected in the POST or system operation. In the following error codes, X can be any number. FRU codes are used for errors detected by diagnostic tests. If no error codes are available, use narrative symptoms. If the symptom is not listed or you cannot correct the problem using this index, go to Undetermined Problem on page 357. IMPORTANT: 1. Before replacing any SCSI device, verify that there are no duplicate SCSI ID settings. 2. Make sure that there are no conflicts of hardware settings, such as, interrupt level, memory address, DMA channel, and I/O address. 3. If you have both an error message and an incorrect audio response, diagnose the error message first. 4. If you cannot run the advanced diagnostic tests, but did receive a POST error message, diagnose the POST error message. 5. If you did not receive an error message, look for a description of your error symptoms in the first part of this index. 6. Check all power supply voltages before you replace the main board, I/O card, and audio card of the Dock I. (See Power Systems Checkout on page 346.)

Errors During the POST:
If the POST detects an error, a three- to eight-digit error code is displayed.
Memory Errors: If the POST detects a memory error in the first 640KB of system memory, all of the first 2MB of memory is de-allocated and the test continues with the second 640KB of the second 2MB of memory. If the total amount of error free memory becomes less than 2MB, a 2XX POST error occurs and the system stops. All of the 20MB (maximum) memory is used as system memory. The memory write and read test proceeds through the IC

DRAM memory. When the POST memory test has completed, the usable memory size is compared with the configuration data and if a mismatch is detected, a 2XX error code occurs. The user can continue with system operation by pressing F1 and call for service at a later time. The memory sizes that are de-allocated because of the POST process is kept by the hibernation or suspend functions. To test this memory, it must be re-configured as part of the original memory size. The memory re-configuring is done by turning power-off and on. De-allocation support is done only by the POST for memory errors. All unrecoverable memory errors that occur during normal operation cause an interrupt to the operating system.

SCSI Diagnostics (Dock I)

The SCSI diagnostics help you troubleshoot SCSI adapter and device problems through a series of menus. The diagnostics are provided on the Dock I Option Diskette. Some SCSI devices might be shipped with diagnostics However, you must use the option diskette shipped with Dock I to test the SCSI controller and SCSI devices. Notes: 1. In the diagnostics, the built-in SCSI controller is regarded as an adapter. If the diagnostics detect any adapter problems, replace the main board of the Dock I. 2. If the SCSI devices are not connected to the Dock I, the built-in SCSI controller is disabled. You cannot run the SCSI diagnostics. The procedures in Figure 1 on page 363 summarizes the major steps.

This section contains information on removals and replacements, and locations. The arrows in the removals and replacements show the direction of movement to remove a field replaceable unit (FRU), or to turn a screw to release the FRU. The arrows are marked in numeric order to show the correct sequence of removal. When other FRUs must be removed before removing the failing FRU, they are listed at the top of the page. Go to the removal procedure for each FRU listed, remove the FRU, and then continue with the removal of the failing FRU. To replace a FRU, reverse the removal procedure and follow any notes that pertain to replacement. See Locations for internal cable connections and arrangement information. CAUTION: Before removing any FRU, power-off the Dock I, remove the computer, unplug all power cords from electrical outlets, then disconnect any interconnecting cables. CAUTION: In the U.K., by law, the telephone cable must be connected after or disconnected before the power cord. Warning: The main board, adapters, and circuit boards on the drives are sensitive to, and can be damaged by, electrostatic discharge. Establish personal grounding by touching a ground point with one hand before touching these units. Note: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap must be used to establish personal grounding. Important See the Screw Size Chart on page 19 to match the letters to the correct screw type and size before replacing each screw.

Errors during the POST: If the POST detects an error, a three- to eight-digit error code is displayed.
408
Memory Errors: If the POST detects a memory error in the first 640KB of system memory, all of the first bank memory is de-allocated and the test continues with the second 640KB of the second bank memory. If the total amount of error free memory becomes less than 2MB, a 2XX POST error occurs and the system stops. All of the remaining memory is used as system memory. When the POST memory test has completed, the usable memory size is compared with the configuration data and if a mismatch is detected, a 2XX error code occurs. The user can continue with system operation by pressing F1 and call for service at a later time.
The memory sizes that are de-allocated because of the POST process is kept by the hibernation or suspend functions. To test this memory, it must be re-configured as part of the original memory size. The memory re-configuring is done by turning power off and on. De-allocation support is done only by the POST for memory errors. All unrecoverable memory errors that occur during normal operation cause an interrupt to the operating system.
Error Log: Diagnostic errors are printed on the printer that is attached to parallel port when the error is detected. The error is also logged in the system memory.
Use the following procedure to display the errors. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. End the test, if it is running. Press Ctrl+A to select the advanced diagnostic mode. Press Ctrl+E. The error log appears. To exit the screen, select the cancel icon or press Esc.

The Symptom-to-FRU Index lists error symptoms and possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first. Note: Replace the FRUs one at a time in the sequence shown in the FRUs of the Dock II Sequence of Action column. If a replaced part did not resolve the problem, put the original part back in the Dock II. Do not replace non-defective parts. Always begin with General Checkout on page 390. This index also can be used to help you decide which FRUs to have available when servicing the Dock II. Numeric error codes show the errors detected in the POST or system operation. X, when included in the error code, can be any number. FRU codes are used for errors detected by diagnostic tests. If no error codes are available, use narrative symptoms. If the symptom is not listed or you cannot correct the problem using this index, go to Undetermined Problems on page 421. If you cannot correct the problem using this index, go to Undetermined Problems on page 421. IMPORTANT: 1. Before replacing any SCSI device, verify that there are no duplicate SCSI ID settings. 2. Make sure that there are no conflicts of hardware settings, such as, interrupt level, memory address, DMA channel, and I/O address. 3. If you have both an error message and an incorrect audio response, diagnose the error message first. 4. If you cannot run the advanced diagnostic tests, but did receive a POST error message, diagnose the POST error message. 5. If you did not receive an error message, look for a description of your error symptoms in the first part of this index. 6. Check all power supply voltages before you replace the main card, riser card, and audio card of the Dock II. (See Power Supply on page 398.)

Security Hole:
A hole for the Kensington** lock is located at the rear of the Dock II. The cable on the Kensington lock is looped around a stable chair or a similar item and the Kensington lock is attached to the hole at the rear of the Dock II. This prevents the Dock II to be carried away by an unauthorized person.
Main Card
SCSI Subsystem:
The Dock II supports the SCSI controller and BIOS which has functions similar to the Adaptec AHA-1530P** Adapter. The Dock II also supports the IBM SCSI device for PS/2*. supports up to seven SCSI devices (includes internal and external). Two of the seven devices can be installed inside the Dock II.
SCSI Devices: The SCSI controller on the main card
Terminators: The terminator requirements for SCSI

devices are: The last device in an external SCSI chain must have the terminator installed. Some devices may require more than one terminator. All other external SCSI devices must have the terminators removed. The internal SCSI device must have the terminator installed. The location and appearance of the terminators may vary from device to device. An identification label or tag (usually T-RES) is attached to each terminator for easy identification.
Dock II (3546)
423
The Dock II has an active terminator which terminates the external SCSI connector automatically.
Audio Jacks:
The Dock II has three audio sources, a CD-ROM audio, a speaker-in, and a computer audio. These three sources are mixed and sent to the audio out jack or are amplified and sent to the speaker or the headphone jacks.
Stereo speakers: The Dock II provides a pair of stereo

speakers.
Headphone jack: A headphone jack is provided for connecting a headphone cable. Speaker-in jacks: Speaker-in jacks are for the audio cable that is connected to the line-out of the AT sound adapter through the Dock II stereo speakers. Audio-out jacks: Audio-out jacks are for an external audio device, such as a speaker system (through the amplifier).

External Diskette Drive Test

Use the following procedure to isolate the diskette problem to a controller, drive or diskette. A scratch, write-enabled 2HD diskette is required. 1. Select the icon FDD on the TEST MENU. By doing this, the controller test and the drive read/write test run. If the controller test detects an error, FRU code 10 appears. In this case, replace the system board. 2. If the controller test run without errors, follow the instructions on the screen and insert a scratch diskette. 3. If the drive test detects an error, FRU code 50 appears. If the diskette media are known to be good, replace the drive or the drive cable.
External Display Self-Test

If the display problem occurs only when using an external display, use the following instructions to correct the problem. Note: Before you replace a display, check the following list to see if it is connected correctly. 8506 and 8508 displays must be connected to an Image Adapter/A or an Image-I Adapter/A. 63XX and 85XX systems support either 63XX or 85XX displays. 85XX systems with an XGA-2 adapter support 95XX displays. 95XX systems support either 63XX, 85XX, or 95XX displays. ThinkPad models support either 85XX or 95XX displays. If the screen is rolling, replace the display assembly. If that does not correct the problem, replace FRUs in the following order until the problem goes away: 1. 2. 3. 4. Video card Display adapter (any type) System board Bus adapter (if used)
If the screen is not rolling, run the display self-test as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Power-off the computer and display. Disconnect the display signal cable. Power-on the display. Set the contrast to its maximum position. Set the brightness control to the center detent position.
Check for the following conditions:
464
You should be able to vary the screen intensity by adjusting the contrast and brightness controls. The screen should be white or light gray, with a black margin (test margin) on the screen. Note: The location of the test margin varies with the type of display. The test margin might be on the top, bottom, or one or both sides. If you do not see a test margin on the screen, replace the display. If there is a test margin on the screen, replace the system board. Note: On ThinkPad Models 700, 700C, 720C, 720C, do the following: 1. Video card 2. System board
External Keyboard/Auxiliary Input Device Checkout

Fax/Modem Checkout
001 Power-off the computer. Ensure that the modem is installed correctly. If the modem never worked in customer mode, ensure that all drivers are loaded correctly onto the computer. Ensure that the communication program is supported on the computer. Ensure that the public switch telephone network (PSTN) cable and the data access arrangement (DAA) cable, if installed, are connected correctly. If you need to correct one of the above conditions, do so now; then continue. Note: PCMCIA cards can be inserted and removed while the system is powered on. Power-on the system. Insert the IBM Data/FAX Modem diskette into the default diskette drive. If you are servicing a High Speed Internal Data/Fax Modem (Models FC3632 and FC3650), at the DOS prompt (for example, A:\), type IBMDIAG; then press Enter. If you are servicing a PCMCIA Data/FAX Modem (Models FC3634 and FC3635), at the DOS prompt (for example, A:\), type ESTDIAG; then press Enter. Follow the instructions on the screen. (If you need help, press F1.) DID THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS DETECT AN ERROR? Yes No 002 The diagnostic tests have completed successfully. If you suspect a problem, go to Step 004. 003 Go to the Symptom-to-FRU Index for the computer you are servicing. 004 Check the PSTN cable and the DAA cable, if installed, for continuity. IS THE CABLE(S) GOOD? Yes No 005 Replace the defective cable(s). 006 (Step 006 continues)
466
006 (continued) Have the customer transmit a call. WAS THE CALL TRANSMITTED SUCCESSFULLY? Yes No 007 Go to Step 011. 008 Have the customer receive an incoming call on the modem. WAS THE INCOMING CALL RECEIVED? Yes No 009 Go to Step 014. 010 The diagnostic tests have completed successfully. If you still suspect a problem that is not software related, replace the External DAA; then replace the modem. 011 Have the customer transmit a call at a lower speed. WAS THE CALL TRANSMITTED SUCCESSFULLY? Yes No 012 If installed, replace the external DAA. If you do not have an external DAA installed, or replacing the external DAA does not correct the problem, replace the modem. 013 Have the telephone line checked. 014 Have the customer receive an incoming call on the modem at a lower speed. WAS THE INCOMING CALL RECEIVED? Yes No 015 If installed, replace the external DAA. If you do not have an external DAA installed, or replacing the external DAA does not correct the problem, replace the modem.
467
(CONTINUED)
016 Have the telephone line checked.
Printer Checkout
1. Make sure the printer is correctly connected and is powered-on. 2. Run the printer self-test. If the printer self-test does not run correctly, the problem is in the printer. Refer to the printer service manual. If the printer self-test runs correctly, do the following. 1. Verify the port settings in configuration. 2. Install a wrap plug on the port (indicated in configuration) and run the advanced diagnostic tests. 3. If the advanced diagnostic tests (with the wrap plug installed) do not detect a failure, replace the printer cable. If the problem is not corrected, replace the system board.
468
Port Replicator Checkout

Use the following procedure to isolate a port replicator problem. A port replicator attaches to the system expansion connector at the rear of the computer. 1. Power-off the computer. 2. Remove the failing devices from the replicator. 3. Unplug the AC adapter from the replicator, if attached. 4. Remove the port replicator from the computer. 5. Reconnect the failing device directly to the computer. (If another device occupies the connector, remove it first.) 6. Go to General Checkout and follow that procedure. 7. If the advanced diagnostic device test does not find an error, suspect a problem with the port replicator or the system expansion bus. 8. Power-off the computer and reconnect the port replicator. 9. Power-on the computer and run the following advanced diagnostic tests: Serial port test with the wrap plug installed on the replicator. Parallel port test with the wrap plug installed on the replicator. PCMCIA-2 test with the PC test card installed. FDD-2 (FDD-1 if no drive is installed in the computer) drive test on the failing device. 10. If diagnostic errors appear, replace the replicator or diskette drive attachment unit. If the problem remains after the replacement, replace the system board. 11. If power problems appear only when using the replicator, replace the replicator. If power shut downs occur intermittently when using PCMCIA-2 devices via a port replicator, suspect an over-current problem. Some PCMCIA devices use more power; if the maximum usage of each device occurs simultaneously, the total current will exceed the limit, thereby causing a power shut down. Isolate this problem by removing one of the devices, and use the computer under the same condition, and see whether a power shut down occurs. Do this procedure for all devices then determine the cause. Customer purchase of the larger AC adapter (50W, optional) is recommended, if it is not yet in use.
469
TrackPoint II Checkout
If the TrackPoint II does not work, check the configuration. If the configuration of the TrackPoint II is set to Disabled or Off, change it to Enable or On. If the problem remains, continue. Note: TrackPoint II automatically compensates to adjust the pointer sensor. This causes the pointer to move slightly on the screen and then stop. Pointer movement might occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the TrackPoint II pointer when the computer is powered-on or running, or when exceeded temperature range requires re-adjustment. If the cursor floats or moves erratically, power-off and disconnect the mouse. Power-on the computer. If the problem goes away, replace the mouse. If the problem remains, replace the keyboard. For click button or pointing stick problems: 1. Go to the Easy-Setup screen. 2. Select an item with the pointing stick. 3. Press either left or right click button. 4. Verify that both buttons work correctly. If the pointing stick or the click button does not work, do the following. 1. Reseat the keyboard cables. 2. Replace the keyboard. 3. Replace the interposer card (355x, 360x, 750x, 755x). 4. Replace keyboard control card (720). 5. Replace the system board.

Problem Determination Tips

Due to the variety of hardware and software combinations that can be encountered, use the following information to assist you in problem determination. If possible, have this information available when requesting assistance from Service Support and Engineering functions. Machine type and model Failure symptom What, when, where, single, or multiple systems? Is the failure repeatable? Has this configuration ever worked? If it has been working, what changes were made prior to it failing? Reference Diskette Version Type and revision level Hardware configuration Print out (print screen) configuration from system partition or Reference Diskette currently being used. Operating system software Type and revision level OS/2 SYSLEVEL Command Software setup (appropriate to the software) CONFIG.SYS STARTUP.CMD AUTOEXEC.BAT Important To eliminate confusion, identical systems are considered identical only if they: 1. Are the exact machine type and models 2. Have the same adapters/attachments in the same locations 3. Have the same address jumpers/terminators/cabling 4. Have the same software versions and levels 5. Have the same Partition/Reference Diskette (version) 6. Have the same configuration options set in the system 7. Have the same setup for the operation system control files (Config.Sys, Autoexec.bat, Startup.Cmd., etc.) Comparing the configuration and software set-up (Config.sys, etc.) between working and non-working systems will often lead to problem resolution.
